Highland Plastics runs a 5-day, 24-hour operation and is recruiting for our evening shift, 4pm to Midnight. This is a full-time position. We primarily make sheets and rolls of material for the customers in the automotive industry, who then form it into car parts. HPI has been around for 30 years and has plans to grow significantly.

This position will start at $20/hr plus $1.00 in shift premium. You also receive entitlement to comprehensive benefits worth approximately $5/hr in addition to your base pay. As well as excellent health benefits we also provide fully-funded short and long term disability insurance as well as $50k life insurance.

You will be trained to read and follow very precise material recipes and operate at least 3 different material blending machines.

As an Operator you will be trained to:

• Drive a forklift safely.
• Interpret and follow blend recipes and instructions.
• Operate and clean a large batch drum mixer, a large batch ribbon mixer and a small batch gravimetric mixer, a material dryer, and various surge bins and hoppers.
• Safely navigate our rail car spur, hook up and un-hook rail cars, and utilize our material vacuum systems.
• Navigate our ERP system.
• Accurately identify and label raw and blended materials.

This role requires the ability to work effectively alone as there is only 1 Blend Tech per shift.

Essential skills and experience:

This is a great job if you have experience working in other factories, because you will appreciate the positive aspects of having a diverse set of responsibilities. Previous forklift, warehouse, material handling, or material blending experience will be a great advantage to applicants.

Reliable attendance and a strong work ethic are essential. Great attention to detail and the ability to repeatedly follow a specific material recipe and set of instructions accurately will be required.

Basic computer literacy is essential, since we will be asking everyone to use our computer system to log the work they are completing, record their quality checks, and generate barcodes for the material they are producing.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking for stability and long-term employment. We want to be the best company to work for in the area, and if you look after us then we will look after you.
